DESCRIPTION:Samah Balouza\nCERN and Purdue University\, USA\n\nI am going 
 to present a brief summary about my experience in the field of plasma etch
 ing and experimental high energy physics:\n\nFirstly\, my master thesis wa
 s focused on “Modeling of Inductively Coupled Plasma Source with Argon/O
 xygen Gas Mixture”. This simulation is important in calculating the opti
 mum design and operation conditions that are used in the etching reactors.
  By solving the fluid model approximation\, I can obtain the electron dens
 ity distribution and energy distribution along with the ion density distri
 bution. Those parameters are critical in predicting the energy deposited i
 n the plasma. The main goal that achieved in this study was enhancing an i
 mportant issue in plasma etching\; the anisotropy.\n\nFurthermore\, I work
 ed in the experimental high energy physics at the Compact Muon Solenoid (C
 MS) detector at CERN. My research projects are in testing new detectors an
 d in analyzing the data that produced from the proton-proton collision. I 
 worked in analyzing the rate performance of the Resistive Plate Chamber (R
 PCs) for CMS upgrade during the run-2 of the LHC. Also\, I worked in testi
 ng the endcap of the RPC chambers by using the cosmic muons.\n\nFinally\, 
 my current research is based on the commissioning of the Phase-1 Forward P
 ixel Detector (FPIX). On my first step\, I started to be trained and work 
 in testing prototypes of the pixel detector by using the pixel online soft
 ware. Testing those prototypes showed me the function of the DAQ system co
 nnected to the detector. Then\, I applied those calibrations that have bee
 n derived from the prototypes to the real detectors before the final insta
 llation and commissioning at the CMS cavern. For data analysis\, I am work
 ing on the data related to the top quark to discover new physics.\n\n
